The brewers at Tsuchida Brewery have taken this idea and bottled it by using sake brewing techniques from the 1600s and applying them now. Using local rice for eating that is not polished further than 90%, ambient yeast, and using a kimoto starter, this sake allows you to travel back in time. In addition, instead of using the usual 48 hours for koji cultivation, the brewers inoculated a strong koji (sohaze) for for just 33 hours, to highlight umami without resulting in a heavy texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFull of umami, balancing acidity with sweetness, this sake is bursting with character.
